    So about the vet accounts, will it be necessary to keep both accounts active to play at least one of them? What if one of them goes frozen?

    One potential negative to consolidating all accounts under the same registration login is that if hackers crack it, they stand to gain access to all the accounts at once - no longer does hacking one account only lose that account.

    Thats why you should keep the website and game passwords seperate.

    Sure its not 100% protection, but its certainly better than nothing.

    As for the character transfers, as I read the info on the registration pages, I could move chars not just from the 'template/master' account that a veteran account had been created from to said vet account - but also from other accounts that have equal or lesser sets of expansions. And that in doing so, I could effectively raise the vet points available to spend on those just-moved chars to that of the target account (assuming the target account had more vet points).

    Ex:
    1) Start with 6 yr old master account
    2) Create vet account
    (clones expansions and vet points, but not paid points)
    3) Transfer char from a younger account (but which has same expansions as master/vet accounts) to the new veteran account.

    Now the newly-transferred char has more vet points than they did while residing on their 'origin' account.


    I could conceivably move a fr00b char from a fr00b account to the vet account and said char also suddenly has expansions.

    Yes and we strongly encourage people to use that feature!

    Also its important to use a unique password you don't use anywhere else for your game and billing password.

    We work hard to make sure your account data is kept safe and we're lucky that you are all so tech savvy.

    Yes, but the point was that the registration pages actually has an option for people to use a single unified password for accounting and all account game logins. Why put such a thing there?

    Merging two of my froob accounts, wish me luck!

    EDIT: Weird, it failed. My other (non-main) froob account says it has an incorrect password. When I log in to my main account, I can switch over and it works fine, but I can't log in directly to the second account.

    EDIT 2: Stranger and stranger. I reset the password, and even the new Funcom-generated password won't let me log in on my second froob account. Note that this is only on the account page, in-game is still and has always been fine.

    EDIT 3: "The server register.funcom.com at Zope requires a username and password." My second froob account always gets this window when I try to log directly in to it on the account page. My username/password combo does not work for it, even after a reset. Is this why my account merge failed?

    Unlike some other interesting security flaws, people can actually avoid this one if they wish.. and save money too.

    In that case, we can expect the clear text password and login that is handled by client.exe and readily visible not only to the user in taskmanager but also to any other software running on that computer, to be encrypted as soon as possible? My hat goes off to the code wizards at funcom!

    There are two passwords:

    1. The Game Password, is the default when you attempt to change it. This is the password you use to log ingame

    2. The Billing Password, this is the account management password, it's also the one required (I believe) to merge accounts.
